M/R: On. 18 May 1964 TSgt Moody called Mr Opal Grinder at 835-9916 in Socorro
New Mexico regarding the article appearing in the Socorro ElDefansor &
. Chieftan concerning an additional witness to the Zamora sighting.
Mr Grinder manages the Whting Brothers Service Station. He could give
no information other than that appearing inthe newspaper article.
He did not remember the type of car or license. He assumed that the
occupant was going or returning from vacation, due to luggage and clothing
in the car. The car lmll:lBd a single occupant. He stated that the
witness said the object came from the East over the highway and had remarked
about the low altitude and odd appearance of the craft.
He will be on the look out in case the witness returns to Socorro.Rob Mercer
